1260 Studios presents Live Radio Theater

Please join us for a series of special presentations harkening back to a bygone era as Victory Chapel’s Radical Theatrical presents a live 1940’s radio drama featuring our very own big band, acting troop and comedy.

If youwere not one of the approximately 1200 people who attended one of the 40’s night performances put on by 1260 Studios during January and February, do enjoy the following photos. They give a bit of the flavor of the night, although nothing here transmits the ‘wow’ quality punch of the five piece band, or the zest and expertise of the singers.

You may yet get another chance to attend in late March, so keep tuned.

Preaching in the Philippines

I had the privilege of going to the Philippines recently to preach two

revivals and a Bible conference. It is always a great joy since we

spent 5 years there as missionaries and it’s an opportunity to renew

friendships and see how all the works have grown and matured.

Our fellowship first planted the first worker in the Philippines in 1983.

For the next several years we planted 11 missionaries into a very

fruitful harvest field. As the Filipinos began to respond and were raised

up and discipled, we were very excited at the potential for their nation.

Today there are 200-plus national churches in the Philippines, raising

up workers and planting churches not only in their country but also

internationally. We maintain a close relationship with these pastors

and churches and regularly travel there to encourage the Saints and

challenge the congregations to all that the Lord has called them to.

This was my intent in traveling to the Philippine Islands, to preach

revivals and minister at the Central Visayan Bible Conference.

It was almost 30 hours in transit, over 20 hours in the air, and you lose

a day going from Boston to Manila. I left Wednesday A.M. and arrive

late Thursday night. Then leave Manila Friday morning and fly to Iloilo

City on Panay Island. (The Philippines has over 7000 islands with

about 3000 inhabited.) We started revival Friday night in Passi, Iloilo

which was the very first baby church out of our ministry many years

ago.

The pastor Roel Javier had just gotten saved about 2 weeks before

we left the mission field. His wife Razel, was a very young convert

when she first came into the church. By her own words “she was a

naughty little girl” coming from a very rough background never

knowing her father, and a mother who was a drunkard and drug

addict. What a joy to see them with their four children, serving God

and being used to help lost souls.

Philippines Ministry- 2009

Last summer they had a very powerful typhoon sweep through their

area which caused much destruction. The church building had over 6

feet of water in the sanctuary. They are a resilient people and went

right back into their church when the waters receded. We had a good

revival there, with a number of people saved, some filled with the Holy

Ghost, and many healed of sicknesses and pain. Being a small city in

the provence, we started service at 6:00 P.M. and were heading home

at 7:45 P.M. I ate every night at their home some “pilipino”dish which I

greatly enjoyed.

After 3 days of revival we joined with 24 persons going to the bible

conference in Bacolod City on the island of Negros. The church

members that go to this conference are thrilled to be able to get

together with their family in Christ which are laboring in many different

cities in the western visayas. Getting there is half the fun! We loaded

up a “jeepney” (overloaded) with clothes and bedding ect. and headed

off to the ferry. There we met others who were also going to the

conference. Another jeepney ride and we were in the leadership

church in Bacolod, Negros, ready for the start of the 3rd annual bible

conference.

The conference ran Monday through Friday evening, with morning

seminars Tuesday through Friday. We were blessed by having the

Philippino national leaders in attendance. Pastor Frank Buenaventura

from Davao in the southern Philippines, who oversees over 90

churches, did a great job encouraging and challenging the saints.

Pastor Charlie Carias from Cebu City ministered one morning seminar

and prayed for the Holy Ghost with over 25 being filled. Pastor Boyet

Desepida, the national leader of the Philippines, pastoring in Manila,

ministered to the pastors about their calling. Pastor Carlos Morales

from Norfolk Virginia did a great job preaching each day of the

conference. His sermon & testimony to the youth touched many

hearts. I had the privilege of ministering four times during the week.
